Frequently asked questions
How many kids should I invite to a sleepover?
There's no right number: it depends on space and your energy levels. Decide before you send, and turn off plus-ones so each link counts one child.
Can I show the next-morning pick-up time?
Yes. Set the start and end of the event on the card, and write the pick-up time in the message so it's easy to spot.
Can parents see who else is coming?
Only if you want: the guest list can be shown to guests or hidden.
Is it free?
Yes, for up to 10 guests, plenty for a sleepover. For more ideas, see the unicorn party or kids' invitation wording.
